SCIO -FMEAFAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS

04.02.2008© PLATO AG 2SCIO™-FMEA FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS

FMEA Form sheets

You can work in different forms:� AIAG (QS 9000) - The current actions are displayed in a column

� AIAG 3rd Ed. - The current actions are displayed in two columns

� VDA 96 - All actions are shown in chronological order in one block

� VDA 86 - Compact assessments

(VDA = German Association of the Automotive Industry)

You can switch back and forth between the forms at any time - in the work view and in the printout.

AIAG 3rd Edition

Which form is preferred – AIAG, VDA?


The FMEA form is filled in like a table. Basic functionality such as copy, edit and insert functions, among others, are set up so that they optimally meet the needs of the user when generating or presenting an FMEA.

Support for inexperienced users → Assistant:

� The actions possible are displayed dependingon the context

� Actions are started directly from the Wizard

Following the basic method → Assistant :

� Contents are explained depending on the context

� Methodical tips help the user perform the analysis

Filling in the FMEA form sheet

How to perform the analysis quickly and comfortably


Use Basic FMEA

� Basic FMEAs or basic systems can be created for basic modules performing common tasks. They are easy to copy and maintain.

� Individual FMEAs can be produced from these basic systems and FMEAs.

� A change to a basic FMEA causes the entries in all individual FMEAs to be updated.

How do you keep the amount of work needed to generate and manage FMEAs low?

Additional Information

Comprehensive information on the cells in a form is documented and can be displayed directly in a cell if necessary.

Specifications: target values, tolerances, and critical features

Comments: additional information

Documents: images, drawings, inspection instructions, and hyperlinks (Intranet, Internet, etc.)

Opt. column info: specially marked

How are drawings and inspection instructions documented?Where can functions be specified?


Standard setting: a change only affects one term

Change management:

� Display all occurrences of a term

� Specific selection of a single FMEA to be changed

� Rules for translations, management of foreign-language FMEAs

� Change histories for every cell contain full documentation

Change Management

How do you make global changes to FMEAs?


Knowledge-based Search

Knowledge base responds with possible failures

Search through the entire knowledge base (database)

All known relationships and interactions are searched for without any restrictions on the project. Suggestions regarding the failures related to functions, the causes of failures, etc., are provided in this manner. The knowledge stored in the database is always available and up-to-date.

Which failures are already known for precisely this function?


Suggestions from CAQ lists

Terms collected in team meetings, for example, can be integrated into SCIOTM

without having to store them in the database. They are available in the form sheet as suggestions.

The CAQ system from the GUARDUS Solutions AG returns failure catalogs that are displayed as direct input aids. Failures can be copied immediately into the form.

Symbols identify the origin of lists:

= Failure catalog from GUARDUS

How are terms from lists or CAQ systems used in analyses?


Standardized Assessments

Comparability

Assessment standards can be specified for the effects of failures and for causes.They ensure that the same event is not assessed differently within the company.

Statistics

A history of assessments provides information on how previous assessments were made and supports the specification of assessment standards.

Adapted Catalogs

Separate assessment catalogs are defined when required by projects, customers, or industries.

Statistics provide information on assessments and standards

What kind of support is provided to perform assessments?


Marking Actions in the Form

Which actions endanger the project?

To what extent are actions implemented or rejected?

Categories mark actions (example based on the GYR Status Report):

RED Project is in danger

YELLOW Deadline is in danger

GREEN Currently being processed


Managing Actions with SCIOTM

An action is often just copied and then pasted in a variety of locations. This procedure generates linked actions. In turn, this reduces the amount of work necessary to manage identical actions.

Deadline overviews show future deadlines and expired deadlines for employees.

The project leader or person responsible can send a notice via e-mail directly from his or her deadline overview.

It is possible to sort the columns

Which deadline is due? Which actions need to be performed?

Advantages of an action management system:� Nothing is forgotten - The system informs via e-mail!

� Easy handling - No understanding of methodology (e.g. FMEA) required!

� Effective workflow - Initiate and manage partial actions� Security - Verification documented in compliance with standards

How are FMEA actions integrated into the daily routine?


Risk factor [in %]

Function

Graphic Evaluation

Where are risks in a project, where are improvements necessary?

RPN Analysis

The comparison of initial RPN values (red) and improvements (green) demonstrates the effectiveness of the actions in the FMEA.

Pareto Analysis

The risk distribution is determined to identify higher risks in the FMEA, in the entire project, or in the department of the company.

Analyzing database knowledge

Configurable search masks:

The complete contents of the database are available to the SCIO Manager as search and evaluation tools. Comprehensive analysis capabilities provide evaluations for:

� Management reports

� Identification and prioritization of high risks and deadlines

� Open actions in the project

� Examining failures and their causes (Fault Tree)

� Changes to existing analyses

Preconfigured user search queries:

Which data will be evaluated?


Search Queries and Results

� It is possible to search through theentire database for all data fields.

� Search queries can be combinedas desired.

� The results are transferred directlyto Excel or copied to the clipboardfor further processing elsewhere.

Any search term can be entered

Search results:RPN values color-coded accordingto the threshold values

Which criteria are available to perform a search?


Printing Documents

How do you print an FMEA?

MS Excel generates complete workbooks:

- Cover sheet- Table of contents- Function structure- Part structure- Specification list

Comments and images are printed.


Publishing and exporting

What capabilities exist to present FMEAs in an Intranet?

� HTML documents areused to publish them inthe Intranet

� Other data export formatsinclude: Excel, TXT, XML

� SCIOTM files can beexported and then reimported at any time.


Archiving Revision States

Which entries in the FMEA are new (since the last session)?

You can archive the processing status at any time.

If necessary, "old" states can be activated and processed further.

Changes between two revision states are highlighted in colorcolor.


Rights to Access the Database

How can the use of FMEA be restricted for certain individuals?

Every user has password-protected access.

The company is organized into departments and subdepartments. Employees are integrated into this structure. They receive assignments according to their data access rights. In this manner you can specify, for example, whether an FMEA can only be read by the user or if the user is also allowed to make changes.


SCIO System

What are the advantages of a central database?

FMEA uses - like all SCIO modules - the central SCIO database. Depending on the task, the data for a subject/system are displayed in the form of an FMEA or a production control plan, etc.

Changes and additions to the shared database are automatically propagated to all SCIOmodules.

An application bar provides the fastest way to switch between the forms and views.
